Thank you very much!  After doing a few shows with PNLTC, I've seen a lot of
really nice MOC trains in the last 6 months.  Being around these guys has to
rub off at least a little.

One question on the 'tail end', since I'm not familiar with this locomotive.
Should there be a door of some sort (ala 'metroliner') so crew can walk to
the next locomotive in the 'consist'?

When I was building this, I only had 2 pictures to go on (1 from a
coffee-table book, and 1 from a Walthers catalog).  I actually just plain
made up the rear.  Since, I have found a number of other shots on the web.
The rear has a small deck behind the body, like I have.  It doesn't have an
enclosed corridor-type connection, but it does have doorways in both the
nose and the tail (neither of which I modeled).

This page has a lot of photos that I would have loved to have when I was
building the model:
